(Observed on Linux; shabby says it is on ringworld too.)
There appears to be a problem showing MIME mail --- show gives this error:
mhl: unable to open format file mhl.headers: No such file or directory
locate shows the following:
/usr/athena/etc/mhl.body
/usr/athena/etc/mhl.digest
/usr/athena/etc/mhl.format
/usr/athena/etc/mhl.forward
/usr/athena/lib/mh/mhl.body
/usr/athena/lib/mh/mhl.digest
/usr/athena/lib/mh/mhl.format
/usr/athena/lib/mh/mhl.forward
/usr/athena/lib/mh/mhl.headers
These aren't symlinks. An strace on show indicates that it is looking
in /usr/athena/etc; seems like the version in /usr/athena/lib/mh is more
recent. They were compiled with different options too:
/usr/athena/etc/mhl -help
version: MH 6.8 #5[UCI] (quiche-lorraine) of Mon Jan 9 01:44:57 EST 1995
options: [ATHENA] [ATZ] [BERK] [BIND] [DPOP] [DUMB] [FCNTL]
[FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [HESIOD] [KPOP] [MAILGROUP] [MHE] [MHRC]
[MIME] [MORE='"/usr/bin/more"'] [MSGPROT='"0600"'] [NTOHLSWAP]
[OVERHEAD] [POP] [POP2] [RENAME] [RPATHS] [RPOP]
[SBACKUP='"#"'] [SENDMTS] [SOCKETS] [SPRINTFTYPE=int] [SVR4]
[SYS5] [SYS5DIR] [TYPESIG=void] [UCI] [UNISTD] [VSPRINTF]
[WHATNOW]
/usr/athena/lib/mh/mhl -help
version: MH 6.8 #16[UCI] (quiche-lorraine) of Sun May 15 18:48:49 EDT 1994
options: [ATHENA] [BIND] [BPOP] [DPOP] [DUMB] [HESIOD] [KPOP]
[MAILGROUP] [MHE] [MIME] [MORE='"/usr/bin/more"'] [NTOHLSWAP]
[OVERHEAD] [POP] [POP] [POP2] [RENAME] [RPATHS] [RPOP] [RPOP]
[SENDMTS] [SHADOW] [SOCKETS] [SPRINTFTYPE=int] [SVR4] [SYS5]
[SYS5DIR] [TYPESIG=void] [UNISTD] [VSPRINTF]
Presumably, we want to just have MH 6.8 #16 floating around? Everything
else seems to be #5. Someone should fix/correct. symlink'ing mhl.headers
would probly solve the problem, though not very elegantly.
